2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I feel like there's a really good joke here but I do not see it. Please elaborate.

    Maid building PC meme from CPU fan perspective 1000011581

    [โ€“] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    But like. Is this just a picture or is there a video? Asking for a friend

    ...and a stranger.

    I am this stranger. ๐Ÿ˜…

    I mean, I get it, but what is this from?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

    Ah. Got it!

    [โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    There isnt. This latest generation of teens/young adults like to dress up like some anime hussy maid and run arch linux with full RBG and a plushie they probably fuck

    [โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I was confused for a moment, because intuitively a CPU fan would look in the same direction as it blows air, so it should look into the heatsink. The fan looking away from the heatsink seems weird to me.

    Or the owner installed the fan in the wrong direction.

    You've been doing it wrong your whole life.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Hmm... Maybe I should adjust my priorities.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    This took me way longer to understand than it should have.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Yeah, I don't get it and I've been thinking about it too long now.

    The meme is not sufficient in itself to make sense. It only works in the context of weibos fawning over japanese maid cosplay mixed with PC building... From the early 2000s from the look of the computer

    Having worked with maids in real life, no fucking way I'm letting anyone with a electrostatic feather duster near a ungrounded circuit board, especially if their wearing polyester uniforms with insulated platform shoes...

    Thanks! I have never been a part of anime related communities/subcultures so I would have never picked up on that.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    See the picture I attached. Now pretend you're horizontal on the floor looking up at the maid building the PC. You are the CPU fan looking up

    [โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Wait is that seriously it?

    When I first saw it I thought it was that some brand makes their fans in Japan, or "maid in Japan". And I thought that was a kinda lame joke. But it works a lot better than a reference as obscure as thisโ€ฆ

    I saw the original posted too many times to not come up with a response, I thought they were mostly here on /c/linuxmemes but maybe not. Usually captioned "average Arch user". ๐Ÿ˜…

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    Yeah, like the FPS style porn, I get it.๐ŸŽฎ

    [โ€“] doctorn 1 points 1 year ago

    I'd be looking up otherplaces if given the chance... ๐Ÿ˜…

    Can you enlighten the rest of us simpletons?

    Where did that come from, anyway?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

    I thought, at first, that it had something to do with the Evil Maid threat vector.

    [โ€“] doctorn 14 points 1 year ago

    I actually assumed there was a new asian band called Chinese Persons Unlimited or something... ๐Ÿ˜…

    Meme-foul... using title as words on the image... 50-yard penalty.
